Welcome back to Yarra!

We would like to extend a very warm welcome back to our Yarra families! We hope that you have had a wonderful holiday with your loved ones and are looking forward to an exciting term of learning with your children!

Yarra Primary is a Strengths-Based School

What is your child naturally good at? Maths? Writing? Sports? Caring for their friends? We all have talents that help us stand out and succeed. So, doesn't it make sense for schools to recognise and utilise students' talents rather than overly focussing on their deficits?

Yarra Primary School is an Influence School

Yarra Primary has been recognised as an Influence School by the Department of Education.

Visible Wellbeing at Yarra P.S

Yarra Primary School teachers Yasmin, Rachel and Harriet participated in the Teacher Excellence Program in 2022 and 2023. In 2024, we are so proud that Eve has been successful in achieving a place in this program for high-performing teachers.
